Dress Alterations to Cover Up “flaws”

I have a better suggestion instead of altering the dress, you have 9 months until your big day, you can make changes to your upper arms with that kind of time, simple toning exercises will do wonders. Your dress is beautiful and I am sure you will look awesome in it.

I wonder if you can alter the sleeves to bring them lower and make it an off the shoulder dress instead? I have bigger upper arms that I am self conscious about as well, and I typically always shy away from cap sleeve style tops for this reason. It tends to accentuates that area.

However, after promising myself that I would get an off the shoulder sleeve dress for my own wedding, I ended up in a sleeveless dress! My arms didn't look that big, but I did look back at some photos and cringe with regret. So keep that in mind. You will always notice your arms regardless of how good you look in the dress. And make sure you pose straight on and not to the side. And if you know how to photoshop - even better! Haha. I went back and fixed my arms on a few photos and I felt instantly better. Not recommended, but it's a quick fix. And like another poster said above, do arm workouts. It works!!
